50 Buildings That Built Wales

A photo-led coffee-table compendium of 50 buildings and structures that have helped to create the Wales we know today. Written by architectural historians Greg Stevenson and Mark Baker, with images by acclaimed photographer David Wilson, the book explores the idea of identity as expressed through a nation's "bricks and mortar." There are even a couple of buildings outside of Wales, a couple that have been lost, and one that moves every year to a different location.

Greg Stevenson is an architectural historian who has written about and worked in building conservation for the past 18 years. He was a series consultant for BBC Restoration, and is Trustee of the Carmarthenshire Building Preservation Trust and Honorary Research Fellow for the University of Wales. Mark Baker is an architectural historian and author of several books on country houses, estates, and families. Working and studying at Cardiff University, Mark recently completed a PhD researching the development of Welsh Country Houses. David Wilson is a Welsh landscape photographer, renowned for his atmospheric black and white images. David's best monochrome photography is featured in his book, Pembrokeshire.
